The economic development bill filed late Sunday and enacted right around midnight Monday does not include an expansion of a tax incentive aimed at helping low-income workers or authorization for the Massachusetts Lottery to expand into online gaming, according to the lead House negotiator on the bill.
Both of those proposals had been included in the Senate's version of the bill.
"The Senate had a number of outside sections that didn't match up with things in the House. Most of those were set aside or held in conference," said Rep. Joe Wagner, the House chairman of the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies.
